  • DISH Network's basic package doesn't include many of your favorite channels.
    DIRECTV's basic package does.

    DISH Networks claims they cost less, but the truth is, they simply offer less. Their comparable package strips out 42 of your favorite channels, including AMC, Animal Planet, BRAVO, FX, MSNBC, NFL Network and Hallmark — and replaces them with channels you've never even heard of. Plus if you're a sports fan, they'll make you pay extra to watch your local sports teams. With DIRECTV's comparable package, you'll get all the popular channels DISH Network doesn't give you, plus a whole lot more. Share this page
